The film does boast plenty of shots of Russell in various stages of undress, which might be the most significant aspect of this minor picture. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 08/20/2007

A highlight of 1997 Slamdance Film Fest, this raunchy romantic comedy has a nice premise--a Romeo who won't take no as an answer--but no narrative or plot to speak of, though two leads are charming and Keri Russell shows potential to become a star.

Peter watches the neighborhood for entertainment, and, frankly, watching the grass grow would have been more entertaining for me than watching this movie. Go to Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com 05/20/2006

01/03/2012 This seems like almost the original of crude humor movies/romance. It was funny and enjoyable. I would watch it again. See more 10/02/2011 A coming-of-age film with a bizarre premise, but humorously narrated. Keri Russell is shows promise as an actress in this pre-Felicity role. See more 08/25/2011 It may be strange that enjoy this bizarre offbeat attempt at romantic comedy. But the concept of a quirky small town and a guy who is willing to camp for the entire summer for a woman he is obsessive about is original. See more 05/12/2011 this movie is one of my favourites with Keri Russell!!!!! See more 05/04/2011 what you see is what you get, and more. Great film. See more 01/01/2011 Sweet romantic comedy directed by Michael Davis (who went on to direct my favorite movie of the year Shoot Em Up) is a simple story with a lot of fun segment. A recent high schol graduate is spending his last summer at home trying to get his lifelong crush to fall in love with him by standing underneath her balcony window every day until she falls in love with him. Also throw in some elements from Rear Window and you've got a pretty entertaining film. Sure, there are some storylines that aren't so great (the horny best friend is overdone) but it's a nice unseen film. Joshua Schaefer was a good lead and Keri Russell was hot and great as the love interest. See more Read all reviews
